Every now and again my guiding is pretty darn good. I have been getting nice results the last couple imaging sessions. This is from tonight…
Edit to add my imaging setup.
I have a dedicated pier mount that I put in last fall. I am using the Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro mount. I mostly use my TS Optics Photoline 102mm refractor. My guide scope is ZWO 60280 60mm. Guide camera is ASI 290MM mini.
PHD2 for guiding and APT for image capture.

Very nice! it's been a while since I've had the opportunity to set up, so I miss that feeling of everything just clicking together, as rare as it was. Good for you, Kerry! Can't wait to see what you produce
